Patent CA-2615796-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WILSON HENRY MARTIN JR
IPC: F16K31/12
Filed: 2006-07-19
Abstract: A gas regulating assembly controlling the pressure of gas from a gas reservoir to a pneumatically-operated device includes a primary housing surrounding a pair of gas regulators. The gas regulators are aligned in series within the primary housing between an inlet to receive high pressure gas and an outlet for releasing a controlled pressure gas. Each gas regulator includes a sealable valve that defines an input and an output, with each valve including a piston having a cylinder and a rod. A spring is adjacent said piston to force said piston cylinder away from said corresponding inlet, and a shim proximate said spring to adjust the force applied by said spring on said piston cylinder. Each valve allows gas to traverse the corresponding gas regulator until a predetermined pressure is achieved in the respective outlet of the respective gas regulator, at which point the predetermined pressure will close the corresponding valve.

Title: Optimal combination of sampled measurements
Inventor: THORUP MIKKEL
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2006-07-18
Abstract: Two regularized estimators that avoid the pathologies associated with variance estimation are disclosed. The regularized variance estimator adds a contribution to estimated variance representing the likely error, and hence ameliorates the pathologies of estimating small variances while at the same time allowing more reliable estimates to be balanced in the convex combination estimator. The bounded variance estimator employs an upper bound to the variance which avoids estimation pathologies when sampling probabilities are very small.

Title: Scrambling for anonymous visual communication
Inventor: DUFAUX FREDERIC ALBERT
IPC: H04N7/15
Filed: 2006-07-31
Abstract: A video communication system is disclosed which allows one or more of the participants to selectively participate anonymously by scrambling regions of the video of arbitrary shape, such as the face of the participant. Initially, the video content is analyzed to locate an arbitrary shape of interest, such as a human face or part of a human body. Once the region of interest is located, it is scrambled, for example, in conjunction with two well known video coding schemes; MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG- 2000. The arbitrary regions can be scrambled in the image-domain prior to coding, in the transform-domain during coding, or in the bit stream domain after coding.

Title: Bottle security device
Inventor: FAWCETT CHRISTOPHER J
IPC: E05B65/00
Filed: 2006-11-08
Abstract: A bottle security device includes a housing with an electronic surveillance article tag therein and a ratchet strap which extends from the housing and loops around the bottle neck to secure the device thereto. The strap has one-way locking teeth which are lockably engaged by a locking mechanism in the housing when the strap is inserted therein to secure the strap in a locked position. The housing has first and second opposed outer surfaces which taper radially outwardly and toward one another in a manner which makes the housing difficult to grasp manually or otherwise, thus helping prevent the breakage and removal of the device from the bottle. The tapered outer surfaces also serve to deflect impact forces to the housing to help prevent unauthorized removal of the device. An arcuate channel of the housing receives and aligns the strap for improved locking capability.

Patent CA-2650054-A1 (CA)
Title: Wave energy converter
Inventor: BEATTY SCOTT JAMES
IPC: E02B9/08
Filed: 2007-05-29
Abstract: A wave energy converter (100, 200 or 300) has a primary body (102, 202 or 302) interconnected to a secondary body (104, 204 or 304) such that the bodies may oscillate longitudinally relative to one another. A slug mass (106, 208 or 308) is visco-elastically connected to the primary body. The slug mass has effective mass, stiffness and damping characteristics. A generator (108, 216 or 316) is drivingly connected between the primary and secondary bodies. The generator has a load damping characteristic. At least one of the aforementioned characteristics is dynamically controllable, allowing the bodies' longitudinal motion to be varied in response to wave motion changes of the wave environment in which the wave energy converter is deployed, to maintain out-of-phase oscillation of the bodies, thus increasing the driving force imparted to the generator and thereby increasing the generator's electrical energy output.
